Enclosed are the following materials to update your information
about contract and grant awards and expenditures financed from
extramural sources. For prior year information and previous memoranda
on this subject, please refer to Contract and Grant Memos 94-19,
94-18, 93-10 (and Supplements 1 and 2), 90-7, 89-4, 88-4, 87-4,
and 86-31, as well as to Contract and Grant Information Letter
dated December 12, 1986. We hope these tables are useful to you
in assessing the University's performance in contract and grant
activity and in responding to requests for information about the
level of contract and grant support.

This year we have added a series of graphs that visually summarize
some of the award data gleaned from the CGX system. In addition
there are three new reports (Tables 7A, 8A and 8B) giving summary
and campus-specific information on expenditures just for research
(as opposed to all functions).

GRAPHS OF SELECTED CGX DATA

Graph 1: FY 1995 Awards by Amount and Location. This graph shows
that the Los Angeles campus topped all other locations in total
extramural funding, receiving over $350 million worth of obligations.

Graph 2: FY 94 and FY 95 Awards. Here we see that the '95 level
of support in all sponsor categories except Other Government and
Business has increased compared to last year.

Graph 3: Award and Expenditure Totals: 1986-1995. This ten-year
trend line shows that award totals, based on the CGX system, generally
follow the same trend line as expenditure totals based on the
Corporate Financial System (CFS).

Graph 4: % Change in Award Totals: 1986-1995. This is the same
information as in Graph 3, only showing percent changes from year
to year. Here we see that a two-year slowdown in growth has been
reversed.

Graphs 5,6: Federal Awards by Major Agency: 1995. The dominance
of HHS funding is readily apparent in these two graphs.

Graph 7: Awards from Private External Sponsors: 1995. Here we
see that more than half of all outside private support comes from
business or business-related interest groups.
